Last night saw revellers take stock of the five days of Glastonbury Festival that stretch out in front of them with a lot of people on site to enjoy the lovely weather.

Many of the smaller venues had music on and the site was busy with people looking around. There were fireworks near the stone circle, and a warm evening. Avalon has a new layout with everything moved about. There's a new huge Other Stage crowned with horns, and a new viewing platform. Today the appearance of the Dalai Lama on Sunday has also been confirmed.

Today sees Shangri-La open its doors with a democracy and election theme this year, and more music on the smaller stages including Wolf Alice on William's Green.

There's lots of rumours of The Charlatans as the Other Stage surprise guest openers tomorrow, we think that's probably who it will be, see the forums or Twitter for any other rumours we may uncover. Rumours are still rife of who could take to the stage before Florence, and who may join Kanye on stage.

Don't forget there are 132 water taps on site to refill your Glastonbury water bottle and keep you hydrated. It's also worth heading up to the Greenfields and signing a petition or two and find an important cause of two to believe in.
